Note :
Extinctions have occurred many times throughout the history of life on Earth ,
and abundant evidence of the prior existence of animals and plants are found as fossils in rock formations many millions of years old .
It is believed by some that due to the influence of man on the environment and destruction of habitat ,
the rate of extinction of species is now higher than at any previous time on this planet .
Extinctions of some animals in recent years have actually been reliably recorded ,
such as that of the {
dodo bird }.
A remarkable example of extinction is that of the {
passenger pigeon }
({
Ectopistes migratorius })
in North America ,
which once numbered in the billions ,
and the last living member of which species was recorded as dying in captivity in 1914 .
